Pain is one of the most common symptoms of patients seeking emergency health care services. Many patients, who needlessly suffer during painful procedures, may benefit from nonpharmacological pain relief interventions in addition to pharmacological interventions. Guided imagery and music offer safe, adjuvant modalities of pain and anxiety reduction. Thus, the proposed experimental pretest-posttest study will investigate the effect of the combination of guided imagery and music on both physiological (sensory) and psychological (affective) components of acute pain and anxiety during laceration repair in the emergency department (ED). The acute pain management theory and the gate control theory of pain will provide the conceptual framework. A total sample of 90 consecutive adults, presenting with uncomplicated lacerations in three urban medical center level l EDs, will be randomly assigned to guided imagery and music or control. Subjects in the treatment group will listen to guided imagery with music that begins with the first suture and continues for the duration of the laceration repair procedure to the tying of the last suture. Pre- and posttest data will be collected via the pain sensation, pain distress, and situational anxiety visual analogue scale (VAS). Data analysis will include use of partial correlation and multiple regression.
